[mythtv] First 0.8 bug report

[Jackie Meese]

Not quite a first post on slashdot.  A bit harder to do, and more 
useful.  ;)

I don't have the fix, since I haven't coded in a long time, but when you 
have the buffer directory set to an invalid symlink, mythfrontend hangs 
w/o an error message when it's run.  You must kill the front end.  (I 
was moving a drive in the middle of installing the new version (not 
upgrading, I wiped everything with "myth" in the name on the entire hard 
drive, hopefully that's a good uninstall).   The fix should be a simple 
error check for the file being successfully created.

Looks great when I remember to do that.  Now I need to plug at the audio 
problems I was haveing 2 days ago on the old release.
